Abstract
A total of 75 patients had labour induced near term using intravenous oxytocin, prostaglandin E-2 or prostaglandin F-2alpha. Biochemical and haematological investigations were performed to assess hepatic, renal and adrenocortical function and changes in platelet adhesiveness. In doses which were similarly effective in inducing labour, both prostaglandins were without the water-retaining effect of oxytocin. Adrenocortical stimulation was greatest with oxytocin. No difference between these agents was observed for the other measurements made.Keywords
